We have a problem. A staple of Mill Valley's distinguished taste and reliable comfort food has been taken from us. Without warning.

If there's one thing we can count on from El Paseo it's fine wine, the perfect green goddess dressing, great steak, and the promise of butterscotch pudding at the end of a scrumptious meal, (in addition to a mini-Europe getaway, thanks to the environment of the restaurant... And lest us not forget the fabulous and friendly staff like David and Chelle)

The final piece of the savory El Paseo journey, with Tyler as my distant sherpa, became incomplete when I learned that butterscotch pudding was no longer available... And that were no plans to bring it back...

Myself exclaimed, "Forget the delicious texture, whimsical presentation, or mouth-watering balance of sweet + salty... This treasure was something even gluten free gluttons could enjoy!"  

Now all that's left for g-frees is "sorbet" or "ice cream" which can leave one feeling as if they've been slapped in the face by a cold wet fish sending a shock of, "no, it can't be!" after becoming accustomed to such a delight as *the* butterscotch pudding. 

But this is not just about it being a premier mouthwatering wheat-less option... I say *the* butterscotch pudding with a unique perspective and defining taste in this particular culinary niche as I grew up eating Thomas Keller's creations for special family celebrations. Through the years, butterscotch pudding kept me loyal to that wizard of a chef until Tyler moved into the neighborhood... Beside his obvious better looks and ability to make it all feel so effortless and unstuffy- The butterscotch pudding was a mark of true success. It was an e mano e mano test of true simple ability to balance flavors and Tyler took it like a tornado in a trailer park. 

So it is with great hope I put forth this petition that we, the fellow T. flo butterscotch pudding lovers, will unite and emerge victoriously to bring back a staple of our culinary community.
